i have noticed that some people ask you for help. you try your best to help them. they dont listen to a word you tell them then they get ticked and down right hateful with you when it doesn't work. you can take your time walk though things step by step and they still dont get it even after you point it out to them and they think you are stupid, how many of you have had to deal with people like this?
and how did you handle it?

I have thought about that too. It has happened to me several times because I work on and with computers. I get people calling me up and asking questions. Some of them get very angry if you miss a step. I hung up on one person after telling him I don't have to listen to his ranting. Of course, he called back and apologized. Then there are people who think they know it all and start doing things that you never told them to do and then they blame you. I had a lady who told me that if I didn't know what I was talking about I shouldn't be helping her. LOL!!! She was the one who called me after she got my number from my friend. I hung up on her too. Most of the people I deal with are decent and good. I just laugh when I get these jerks.
The best was when I was helping this guy. He sounded like a know-it-all. He told me his computer was not working and that he did this and that and blah blah blah. I asked him if it was plugged in. There was a silence and the phone went dead. I almost fell on the floor laughing.

People don't like hearing the truth or another persons thought because the had an answer, and they were testing you or trying to have another person agree with them so that they don't feel bad or wrong about there first thought. The first thought is bad or wrong when you answer and therefore they are upset and they will be rude. The best thing is depending on what category they are in your personal life, friend, authority, associate, whatever. For a friend you should know how they will react if you do different things. An over all answer is to play with the question first to find out there thoughts on it first, then give them something that can kind be dealt with well by there prospectives or morals. Those are two things that are hard to change. People stick to those pretty hard. They don't want to hear any thing else.

First off...any serious problems should not even be brought here. If they had half a brain, they'd seek out professionals and not the average person online. So what you're dealing with is someone who doesn't even have enough sense to go to the proper source for help. You can't expect them to react rationally to even the best of advice. Don't take it personally...just move on and hope your help doesn't fall on deaf ears in the future.

They're just immature.
I've had to deal with that quite a bit, especially over yahoo messanger. I just tell them to leave me alone and that if they don't like my answer, then it's too bad.
I've even gotten something wrong, supposedly (i said that you have to be a US citizen to be in the US army). Someone send me an IM and was going off on me telling me I was stupid for saying that. She gave me a website that didn't look official that said that you don't have to be a citizen. And I gave her one that said that you do have to be a citizen and she still told me I was wrong. The website I gave her was one that I found from someone else who said the same thing I did, on www.about.com.
I hate people like that.

By the time most people pose questions here, they're likely frustrated near to a nervous breakdown to begin with. And if your suggestion, even if it's the right one, doesn't work: they go off.
Let it flow over and past you.....focus on other things ahead.

a lot of times they know you are right, yet are to stubborn to admit it, or to proud to take advice from someone else even if they asked for help in the first place!!!
people will be people without God's help!!!
Sorry if someone has made you feel bad by doing this to you, but we have all been through it!!

People do this because they are embarrassed that they need help. Be kind, and help them anyway. It's very hard for these people to ask. Eventually they'll learn humility and grace. Peace.
